From our Owner, OJ Washington -

People love us! we rank 4.9 out of 5 on facebook

Amazing gym, amazing coaches, amazing people. After only dropping in once, I have never felt more welcome in a gym. Everyone is super motivating no matter your skill level. I have also met some great new friends here, and look forward to dropping in anytime I’m in town. This is a MUST if you are visiting San Diego, and if you live there…. even better, go check it out! 10 stars.

My husband and I moved from Indiana and found Bear Republic! We cannot explain how awesome our experience has been and how much we love the coaching! Crossfit reminds you how hard work truly has its rewards, and Bear Republic has shown us that even the smallest steps gets us closer to just that!!! Ps.. We love coaches Drew and Taryn!!

Dropped in to this box and was very impressed with how friendly and welcoming the staff and coaches were. They have programming for all levels of experience and plenty of space to do extra accessory work. I was there for over two hours and never got the feeling I was overstaying my welcome. I highly recommend this box to anyone considering it as a new gym or place to drop in if you’re visiting from out of town.

I used to be a member at the old location and was only in town again for 2 months… I felt completely welcomed and loved being back at CFEV! The new place is huge and the coaches were awesome! I could definitely tell that they’ve been working on building the ‘community’ side of crossfit since I left.

I was in town for a conference and dropped in for 3 WODs. It is a very nice box with a ton of space. Coaches were extremely knowledgeable and paid attention to form and technique giving pointers and encouragement as needed. Thanks for a great experience.
